@Pepper
That is truly difficult for some of us. Try not to feel guilty for being honest and expressing it. I hope it helps you just a little bit, to share it. That would be added stress to have it lined up for consecutive days, too, and not wanting to do anything to reduce your contacts with them. It's all very understandable, but still hard. I hope you can get some good rest tonight. I am sure that you already know to plan ahead, the best you can.
 
Well, it was a less than stellar day for me. Heart surgeon called to tell me of an incidental finding of fibrous of the liver. I can not tell you how 🤬this makes me. I never drank, NEVER. Not even one drink since my parents drank, and I saw them drunk, and the children of parents who drink are at high risk for being alcoholics.

I should have drank.

Plus I thought not drinking would cause my kids not to drink, course, they drink. My life is a shit show; always has been, always will be.

As to the skin cancer, yup, it is cancer; and it’s deep. The deeper they tested the sample the thicker the cancer was. Been referred to the surgeon who currently is off for Xmas. I’d have a drink, despite the fact that I don’t drink; but, well, 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Joeys room looks good. He loves it. Few more things from Amazon and it will be done. Got his groceries today so he has plenty of food. Still got to get his orange juice. I see my doctor at the cancer center tomorrow to check my MDS (red blood cell cancer.)

Life goes on.

20 canna plants must be gorgeous when they are in bloom!:oops::D(y)
I even love the large leaves on those, when not blooming, too. :)

Since many of us are living such exciting lives, as you pointed out :LOL:
perhaps I should mention that I hand-washed a pair of fleece socks,;)
to keep my feet warm and comfy-toasty, in bed. :giggle:

And another highlight to my day:
My wonderful helper dropped a bag on the floor, that had 2 dozen eggs in it.:oops::rolleyes:o_O :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:
So I needed to put most of them, into the freezer.:sneaky:
I am very glad I learned how to do that, about a year ago,
right here at SF! :love:
Where we learn from each other, how to improve our exciting lives.

Btw, Guess what we had for breakfast, today?😁

You can freeze raw eggs?!! 😲
 
I haven't been here much.....
I had 3 wonderful days of roller skating and visiting with friends at the rink!

Today started at the dentist. He began working on replacing 2 crowns. It was a bit stressful😢

Afterwards, I brought a plate of goodies to my BFF, then ran a bunch of errands.

Right now I'm exhausted and my mouth is starting to hurt.

yes you can freeze raw eggs..I discovered this last year when we had full supermarket shortages during the height of the pandemic... ..You have to break them, whisk the yolk and white together, then put them into a suitable lightly oiled dish..and ice-cube tray is a good one..or a muffin tray... (which is what I used)

Yesterday we had our early Christmas with "the soul daughter and granddaughter".
Lots of fun and one of those years where the gifts were scary perfect and no one
had to go to the ER...lol:

The picture of the tree is my Gardenia bush that we grew from a little bouquet start 3 years ago. There are blooming Gardenias on it so I made it our official Christmas tree this year!

Oh that's a beautifully big light room...I love huge windows... and the enormous fireplace...

Pleased you had a lovely early Christmas day with your family

Yes, Hollydolly, we've had 2 early Christmas's this year...now we get to kick back, no hosting and relax over the "official day" on Saturday. Hopefully!

Yes, if I told you how many of those big windows there are in this joint, you'd have a hard time believing that my husband and his little crew put every one of them in.
Agree with you - love big light rooms, and also love houses old enough to actually develop some quirks and character in them.

Hope you all have a wonderful and contented Christmas.

New to me too, since it has never happened before. They want me to have over a thousand miles on my new car to pass it ... ???
I don't drive much, and I certainly don't take trips ... so this is a weird problem I get to resolve.

If I go driving up and down streets around here, someone will think I'm a porch pirate ..😄

I had this new car problem .... required a state inspection sticker since I've had it two years now, and still very low mileage.

Well, my SIL took my car to the dealership last Saturday afternoon. They told him... Sorry! ...'the law sez .........."
He then went to the showroom, to find the salesman who sold me the car..

There were many customers around, and he (SIL) said LOUDLY ... either you figure out how to get this car to pass inspection, or you will need to buy it back ... at today's prices!

WOW! ... I had nothing to do with all of that ...lol


Long story short, they kept the car for 3 days. They called this morning, and said it PASSED inspection.

I got it back, and with a full tank of gas, and a car wash.
Merry Christmas! :D

@Liberty Such a beautiful, bright room - ideal for you and your green thumb. Love the idea of your reimagined Christmas tree.

Thank's Jules. The whole back of the house is designed as kind of an indoor greenhouse.

The Gardenia Christmas tree... kind of call it a "twice blessed bush". Imagine it being a tiny slip and turning into this great 5 ft. tall bush that blooms and blooms with such fragrant white flowers. Blooming now with so many other plants. Know it will get cold, but enjoying it while it lasts. Supposed to be 82° on Christmas day!

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

How do you freeze eggs?
Click to expand...
Yes, it is simple and quick to freeze raw eggs, and then they will last a very long time, and are totally good to cook and use, much later, for anything at all. (Except to hard boil them whole. :sneaky:)

I take each one out of the shells, then slightly stir each one, then I put them individually into small plastic cups, which i have prepped by rubbing a tiny bit of oil around the inside, to make it super easy to get them out of the cups after freezing.

Put into freezer. When frozen, (next day or whenever convenient)
I pop them out of the containers, and put into freezer baggies with a date on it. (I fold the baggie so they don't freeze together)

Then, I can use them one at a time, or however many are needed,
in any recipe, baked, or just by themselves, scrambled, or omelette. Delicious and fine, and nice and light.

Some people might use ice cube trays, or whatever containers they have, to put each one in, or you could freeze them in 2's, or more, if you usually use them that way or if you prefer.

@hollydolly
I think I learned it from you, and from others' posts here at SF.
Do any of you do it differently than I explained, or please....
Can you describe how to do it, more simply and clearly, than all of my words did?o_O:geek::rolleyes::giggle::LOL::ROFLMAO:

OH, I just found this post, where you already did what I asked if you could do...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::giggle::giggle::giggle:
And yes, you certainly did explain it better, and more simply and clearly, than I did!
I knew my brain was scrambled (pun?:ROFLMAO:)

Thank you, Holly!:love:

@Trila
Please read this post instead of mine, and ignore mine on the same topic! 😁
I hope your mouth feels better soon, after your very big dental appt!:love:
 
Spent the morning making 3 dozen bran muffins.

After lunch DH dropped me at the grocery store because I thought it might be busy. I was wrong - it was a bloody madhouse and I know I never would have found a parking spot.

When I asked for my bread to be sliced, I though of @GeorgiaXplant and how busy she must be. Even the employee commented on how crazy it was.

Okay, boys and girls. I'm myself again. Matrix waved his magic wand and presto! I'm back to being me. Can you even imagine what the world would be like if there were two of me?😄

Oh gosh, do you feel better now? Or worse, after having gone back and forth? :LOL::giggle::love:

But we feel much better, having you back!
You're right that we want to live in a world,with one of you!;)
And, one of Matrix! :D
